break-ups to hot bods

yesterday a collegue mentioned to me that her ex boyfriend had taken up body building, and showed me some hilarious pictures of some dude with a golden tint and a speedo. it made me think of my ex-roommate who's ex-bf also resorted to pumping some serious iron after their break-up. I mean...a good friend of mine resorted to working out a lot after a tough break-up, but dude....if you resort to waxing your entire body, stripping down to a bro-thong, and flexing your ass-muscles in front of hundreds of people, that break up must have been SERIOUS.

i guess a serious break-up can do a lot of things to someone. my barber stopped eating for 3 days after he "trashed" his engagement, another friend just went out and got drunk and hooked up with some random girl. in my case, I cried like a bitch and ate lots of sorbet (no ice cream cuz I'm lactose intolerant). PSYC!!! puh-leaseeeee. real men don't cry.

anyhow, so my question is: how does one deal with a serious break-up???
